Poppystamps Just Bling It! Challenge

Saturday, July 1, 2017

Morning, y'all! If you can believe it, July has arrived; and that means a brand new challenge over at Poppystamps. This one is called Just Bling It! Here's how I was inspired.

I started this card by inking the bottom of a piece of white, glitter paper, from middle to bottom, in shades of Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans, and Peeled Paint Distress Inks, leaving the top white for a Stitched Cloudline die cut. A second piece of white glitter paper, die-cut, using another one of the Stitched Cloudline dies, was tucked behind the first, before both were adhered to the Pool Party, cardstock, card face.

I then grounded them both with the Freida Curve, die-cut from Always Artichoke cardstock and stamped, in Jet Black ink, with the "TIME TO sparkle AND SHINE" sentiment.

Everything was then secured with double, white-threaded, straight, machine stitching; before the faeries, die-cut from Basic Black cardstock and vellum, were popped up with foam tape.

I am a former kindergarten teacher turned wife of 17 years to BJ and stay-at-home, homeschool mommy to three beautiful gifts from God, Ezekiel (15), Adina (10), and Kaden (5). When I'm not taking care of or playing with my family, you can find me cooking, baking, gardening, sewing, and of course, papercrafting. My love for the latter started over fourteen years ago, but my love for creating began before birth. I feel overwhelmingly blessed by all God has given me and know that if I continue to keep my eyes on Him, He'll keep me soaring.
